Who is Ospitone?
Ospitone was a Christian chief of Barbagia in Sardinia in the late sixth century. Gregory the Great, in a letter dated to 594, commended Ospitone for his Christianity at a time when most Barbaricini were still pagans "living, all like irrational animals, ignorant of the truth of God and worshiping wood and stone."
Ospitone confirmed a peace with the Byzantine dux Zabarda and consented to allow the missionaries Felix and Ciriaco to penetrate Barbagia.
